" tbe Ubyssey\nTime is running out for the Lubicon\ns\nOil companies hold key\nto natives' freedom\nBy Elizabeth Pasternak\nCanadian University Press\nThe Canadian government has not\nalways known much about Northern Alberta. In the 1920s, they were quite surprised to find the Lubicon Cree hunting,\nfishing and trapping in a 25,000 square\nkilometre region north of Peace River.\nHaving omitted the Lubicon from the treaties signed at the turn of the century, the\ngovernment promised them an agreement.\nThe Lubicon are still waiting.\nBut their patience has been long wearing. Disregarding native land claims, more\nthan a dozen oil companies have been indiscriminately drilling on Lubicon territory.\nIn the past six years they have destroyed\nthe band's lifestyle and economy, with consent of the Canadian and Alberta governments.\nFor Bernard Ominayak, chief of Lubicon Cree, the issue is quite obvious. \"It is\ngenocide. I looked up the definition of\n'genocide' and it spells it out very clearly.\"\nThe Canadian criminal code defines\ngenocide as \"killing members of an identifiable group or deliberately inflicting on the\ngroup conditions of life calculated to bring\nabout its physical destruction.\"\n\"Government policy since day one has\nbeen to deny any self-reliance among Indians in order to get the land, the resources, to\nre-educate the children so they don't have to\nhunt, so they can be taught to consume and\nwork nine to five, speak English, go to\nchurch, watch TV - a total cultural absorp-\ntioon? said Brian Wright-McLeod, national\noffice coordinator for Canadian Alliance in\nSolidarity with Native Peoples (CASNP) in\nToronto.\nIn the last six years, oil drilling in the\nareahas increased at an alarming rate. The\ncompanies have built roads, bulldozed the\nband's traplines and driven away the animals. The moose, on which the 457 Lubicon\nCree depend, have all but disappeared.\nIn 1984, there were two fires in the\nregion, one caused by an oil company, the\nother by lightning. \"The provincial forestry\nVOLUME 70, Number 36\nofficials refused to allow the fire to be put\nout. 200 square miles of traditional land\nwere destroyed and the bottom fell out ofthe\ntraditional economy? said Fred Lennarson,\nadvisor for the band since 1974.\nThe Alberta government defended\ntheir actions by saying firefighters should\nconcentrate their efforts on more densely\npopulated areas.\nWith vegetation destroyed and animals gone, the band has been forced to\nchange its diet to processed foods, deficient\nin protein. Because of this Lubicon are, on\naverage, twenty pounds underweight.\nAs a result, an epidemic of tuberculosis\nhas broken out in the community. Forty-\none active cases have been diagnosed and\n107 ofthe band members are being treated\nwith preventative medicine which is toxic to\nthe liver.\n\"TB is a pre-industrial disease, related\nto resistance? said Lennarson. The disease, which on average affects one in 150,\n000 Albertans, has been diagnosed in one in\nthree Lubicons. Two-hundred-and-fifty-\nthree Lubicon Cree are being checked a\nsecond time and another 20 to 30 cases are\nexpected.\nIn 1979, the trappers had an average\nannual income of $5000 and just under 10\nper cent of the population was on welfare.\nNow the average annual income for the\ntrappers has dropped to under $400, and 95\nper cent of the population is on welfare.\n\"When a man can't provide for his\nfamily because there is nothing to hunt?\nsays Lennarson, \"he sits at home and stares\nat the wall, depressed and disgraced.\n\"His wife is angry because the man she\nmarriedis not a good provider...The kids see\ntheir fathers staring at the wall and their\nmothers yelling at their fathers and the role\nmodels are shot to hell.\"\nIn one family, a woman left her husband, taking the children with her and went\non welfare. Her husband shot himself\u00E2\u0080\u0094 it\nwas the first suicide in the Lubicon people's\nhistory. see 'settlement' page 5\nBy Nona Biro\nhe Spirit Sings,\nan exhibition of\nCanadian native artifacts at Calgary's\nGlenbow musuem,\nhas split the anthropology community,\n.he museum commu-\nrity and the native\n.ommunities in Can-\nida.\nThe flagship show of the Calgary\n)lympic Arts Festival opened amidst con-\n|troversy fuelled by The Alberta Lubicon\n_ake Indian band's boycott of the show.\nAt issue is the role of corporate and\n^government sponsorship of cultural activities. The Lubicon blame the government\nand Alberta oil companies for the destruction of their traditional culture, the same\nculture these companies seek to glorify in\nmuseum exhibits.\nAlberta's conservative government\nhas leased out their traditional hunting and\ntrapping lands to oil companies, and has\nrepeatedly defeated the band's court at-\ntem pts to stop drilling pending a settlement\nofthe disputed land.\nThe past eight years has seen a complete deterioration of their lifestyle owing to\nthe construction of 4500 kilometres of roadway, the bulldozing of traplines and cabins,\nand the establishment of 400 oilwells\nwithin a fifteen kilometre radius of the\nLittle Buffalo settlement.\nThe major sponsors of the Olympic\nshow are Shell Oil who donated $1.1 million\nof the show's $2.6 million dollar budget\n(Shell is boycotted by anti-apartheid groups\nfor its investments in South Africa), and the\nfederal and Alberta governments, the\ngroups that Bernard Ominayak, chief of the\nLubicon band, regards as the perpetrators\nof his people's genocide.\n\"Our problem is not with athletic competition or with cultural displays, but\nrather with that small group of wealthy\npowerful interests in Alberta who are trying\nto wipe us out? Ominayak says. \"These\npeople are using the Calgary Winter Olympics and the Olympic Arts Festival to try to\nachieve international respectability and\ncredibility?\n\"The multinationals are taking all our\nresources - these are the same people organizing the Calgary games? Ominayak says.\nThe Glenbow museum itself is tied into\nthe corporate world through oil companies'\ndomination of Glenbow's Board of Governors. The Board of Governors are appointed\nby the founding Harvie family (oil millionaires) and by the Alberta government and\nform a virtual who's who of the Alberta oil\nindustry.\nFive oil company executives, two senior\noil company lawyers (representing oil firms\ndrilling on Lubicon land), and the director of\nthe Independent Petroleum Association of\nCanada, sit on Glenbow's Board of Governors.\nOne of the Fellows of the Glenbow is\nJudge\nMcDermid,\none of three Alberta Court of Appeal Judges who declined to grant the\nLubicon an injunction to1\nstop gas and oil drilling on,\nLubicon land in 1982.\nGlenbow exhibits, especially major exhibits, are often\nsponsored by oil companies.\nRegular contributors to the Glenbow, who are major developers in\nthe disputed Lubicon area, include\nAmoco, Canterra, Chevron, Gulf,\nHusky, Mobile, Petro-Canada, Roxy\nPetroleum, Union Oil, Westcoast Petroleum, and Shell.\nTo support their cause, the Lubicon\nstarted an international letterwriting\ncampaign asking museum directors not'\nto lend requested artifacts to the show.\nWhile many museums complied with\nthe band's request, Dr. Michael Ames, Director of the Museum of Anthropology at\nUBC, agreed to lend artifacts.\nAmes says Canada is a resource nation and that large scale funding of cultural and educational institutions is necessarily derived from resource companies.\n\"Mac-Bio floats this province... museums and universities couldn't exist without corporate and government support?\nAmes says.\nAmes did not support the boycott because he sees it as de facto censorship of\nmuseums and the academic community at\nlarge.\n\"I would never take theirinstructions\n(corporations who fund exhibitions), or let\nthem have any editorial control over the\nexhibit? Ames says.\n\"Mac-Blo floats this\nprovince...museums and\nuniversities couldn't exist\nwithout corporate and government support.\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Michael Ames, Director of the Museum of Anthropology\nAmes says he supports the Lubicon in\nprinciple.\n\"They do have a grievance that is\nlongstanding. The Lubicon boycott would\nbe a reasonable request if they said that\nthe content was erroneous? says Ames,\nbut he believes that passing the \"white\nman's burden' onto museums is completely unfair and unfounded.\nSome, however, disagree with Ames'\nstand.\n\"There is no way in the modern world\nthat a museum can claim immunity as a\ncultural institution from the political implications of its policy decisions? says Dr.\nBruce Trigger, an eminent professor of\nanthropology at McGill university.\nTrigger resigned as honorary curator\nof Montreal's McCord museum over\nMcCord's loan of artifacts to the Calgary\nshow.\nIn his resignation letter, Trigger\nstates his belief that \"if the treasures of\nthe past mean so much to museums, the\nsee 'Boycott' page 5\nVancouver, B.C.

Here it\nis up to the individual departments to extend their encouragement to women, Lythgoe said.\nBut at the University of Alberta, the women in scholarship,\nengineering, science, and technology committee actively supports\nand encourages the participation\nof women in decision making roles\nin society.\nAnother group, the University of Alberta women in science\nand engineering, sponsors panel\ndiscussions and workshops which\noffer women role models, support,\nand practical information hke how\nto choose a graduate school.\nBut UBC applied science dean\nAxel Meisen questioned the effectiveness of university level programs which attempt to encourage women to enter non-traditional fields.\n\"(Career) decisions are generally made in high school? he said.\nWith this in mind the faculty\nof applied science arranges visits\nto high schools and colleges where\nboth men and women are encouraged to consider careers in engineering, said Meisen.\nLythgoe also said encourag-\nPower failure hits Vanier\nBy Ross McLaren and Laura\nBusheikin\nPlaceJVanier residents have\nbeen living in the dark because of\npower failures hitting four houses\n- Hamber, Ross, Mckenzie, and\nModsley - over the last three\nweeks.\nThe power failures, caused by\nPlace Vanier's archaic wiring,\nshut down lights, smoke alarms,\nemergency exit signs, emergency\nlights, and heat and hot water\nsaid Hamber house resident Merrin Penney. The longest blackout\nlasted 15 hours.\n\"The biggest thing is the\nsafety factor? Penney said.\n\"Technically, we're not supposed\nto use candles but people don't\nhave much choice.\"\nPenny said the fire depart\nment was not informed of the\npower failure even though house\nadvisors- walked hourly fire\nwatches and flash lights, which\nburned batteries quickly, substituted as emergency lights.\nAssistant chief J. Affleck, of\nthe University Endowment Lands\nfire hall, when asked if housing\nshould have phoned the fire department, said \"no, because the\nfire alarms still work?\n\"Their (Housing's) problem is\nmoney. When the buildings were\nbuilt the wiring complied with the\ncode of the day. Recently, we've\nbeen working with them to upgrade (the wiring)? Affleck said.\nMary Flores, director of student housing, said power has been\nrestored through the use of temporary wiring.\nFlores said the line periodically breaks down and is repaired.\nHousing facility manager,\nGerry Harley, said work to permanently fix the wiring will begin\nMonday and will cost approximately $40,000, to be taken from\nhousing's emergency funds.\n\"The wiring is 20 years old?\nHarley said. \"It just gave up.\"\nSome students, citing the inconvenience of studying in the\ndark and showering in cold water,\nwant their rent back, but housing\nhas refused to refund their money.\nJuline Macdennai, of Place\nVanier, said \"we have to go to the\ncommons block to study because\nthe rooms are dark.

In describing their performance, the\nenergetic sylph-like Sook-Yin\nLee says,\"There is lots of energy,\ncostume changes, some elements\nof vaudeville and cartoons, and a\nlot of rock and roll to our performance.\"\nAlthough he shrugs off the\nlabel of \"art band\", James Junger\nadmits \"We make art and we\nmake music. People can watch us\nperform, or they can just zone\nout and dance.\" While most\nbands are content in making a\nconcert a listening experience,\nBob's Your Uncle make their\nconcerts a total experience: for\nthe eyes, ears, feet and mind.\nBob's Your Uncle was\nformed in October of 1984 to play\nsmall clubs and on the street, but\nthey quickly outgrew these\nmodest aims. Living in the same\napartment, Sook-Yin Lee and\nPeter Lizotte decided to combine\ntheir talents and form a band.\nFortunately for the pair, the\nguitar bass duo of James Junger\nand Bernie Radelfinger had\nrecently broken off from another\nband and were looking for\nanother project to join. The most\nrecent addition is Steve Lazin on\ndrums. But two ofthe most\nimportant people to Bob's Your\nUncle are not even members of\nthe band: Craig Burner their\nproducer and David Litzotte, the\nroadie and light man.\nTheir only vinyl release to\ndate is a self-titled six song ep,\nreleased in 1987, which aptly\ndemonstrates the flexibility of\nthe Bob's Your Uncle sound. The\nsongs range from the angry and\nsemi-political Acid Rain, to the\neccentric Talking to the Birds,\nand to the dancey Too Many\nMirrors. Lee, who writes about\n70 per cent ofthe lyrics, says\n\"Inspirations for the lyrics run\nfrom going to the dentist to acid\nrain.\" Thanks to producer Bill\nBuckingham the ep captures the\nessence of Bob's Your Uncle.\nIf you're unable to catch\nBob's Your Uncle either this Friday or Saturday at the Railway\nClub, or ifyou don't like celebrating St. Patrick's Day by watching 40 year-old drunk musicians\nwith thick beards and even\nthicker accents trying to sing\nclassic Irish folk songs (?), Bob's\nYour Uncle will be performing at\n86 street on March 17.\nH*0*L*l-D-A-Y-S\nJOIN 4000 YOUNG\nCANADIANS FROM ACROSS\nCANADA BUSTING LOOSE\nTO MEXICO THIS SPRING IN\nMAZATLAN, PUERTO\nVALLARTA & CANCUN.\nFOR MORE INFO CALL\nSTEVE WILSON 255-3586\n4/THE UBYSSEY\nFebruary 5, 1988 UBC museum ignores boycott,\nlends artifacts to Glenbow\nfrom page 1\nwelfare of their creator's living\ndescendents should mean no less\".\nAnother anthropologist, Dr.\nJoan Ryan, resigned from her\nposition on the Programs Committee of the Glenbow museum after\nlearning that the department of\nexternal affairs was intervening\nabroad by asking Canadian embassies to 'defuse' the boycott situation.\nExternal affairs insisted that\nthe support for the Lubicon was\nmarginal, and urged European\nand American museum directors\nto lend to the Glenbow.\n\"It seems to me that this is\npolitical influence at its highest\nlevel - the diplomatic one...The\nmessage is clear: save the show,\nnever mind the people? Ryan\nsays.\nAaron Greycloud, President\nof United Native Nations Local\n108 in Vancouver, agrees with\nRyan that the External Affairs\nintervention was a face-saving\nmeasure.\n\"Canada likes to be known\nabroad as a multicultural society,\nbut it fails completely when it\ncomes to Canada's First Nations?\nGreycloud says.\nGreycloud believes that the\nOlympic show only \"adds insult to\ninjury\", and obscures the fact that\n\"this country's government does\npractice apartheid and genocide\".\nSaul Terry, President of\nUnion of BC Indian Chiefs, says\n\"The Lubicon situation is a concern for all non-treaty Indians in\nBC, of which there are many. The\nboycott is trying to bring some\nattention to the manner in which\nthe government has dealt with\nIndians, and that is why we must\nsupport them\".\nSupport for the Lubicon has\ncome from virtually every major\naboriginal organization in Canada\nand abroad, including the Assembly of First Nations, the Metis National Council, the United Native\nNations, the Native Council of\nCanada, the National Congress of\nAmerican Indians, and the World\nCouncil of Indigenous Peoples.\nBut not all native Canadians\nagree with the Lubicon's methods.\nMany turned out for the opening\nnight reception of The Spirit Sings\nand contributed to the curating of\nthe show.\nThe Spirit Sings is for some\nCanadians a celebration of native\nculture. But others can see that\nthe governments of Alberta and\nCanada and the oil companies are\nprepared to sacrifice a whole aboriginal society in the name of\nprofit.\nIt has been almost fifty\nyears since the Lubicon were\npromised a treaty by the federal\ngovernment, and today they are no\ncloser to a resolution. The difference is that today the people who\nhave lived on those lands for generations must fight not only the\ngovernment, but a far stronger\nopponent - the oil companies.\nSome will say it's only an art\nexhibit, but art at what cost?\nEverthing you ever wanted to know\nabout being single in Vancouver\nSINGLES FAIR\nf~\"_\"__*=h_iaj=*v ia -i3 1-4-\nEMTERPRISE BUILDING\nON THE EXPO SITE AT THE DOOR\nSouth Side of B.C.

The bottom\nline is we don't have a future until\nwe achieve a land base.\"\nFor the Lubicon, the land\nbase is their only means for survival. For the Alberta government, which collects huge royalties from the oil and gas production, the land is a source of power\nand wealth.\nTechnically the provincial\ngovernment does not play a role in\nnegotiation. \"The negotiations are\nreallly between two sovereign\nnations \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the government of\nCanada and the Lubicon Cree,\"\nsaid Wright-McLeod.\nYet, time has shown that the\nfederal government has not kept\nits promises to the Lubicon band.\nIn 1939, the department of\nIndian Affairs offered them a 25\nsquare mile reserve with mineral\nrights near Lubicon Lake. But the\nland survey was never conducted\nand the band was left without a\nreserve. In the 1950's when oil\ncompanies showed interest in the\narea, the Alberta government\ndemanded that Ottawa determine\nthe status of the Lubicon Lake\narea. When Ottawa did not respond, the Alberta government\nunilaterally and illegally claimed\nthe area as provincial crown land.\nWhen oil exploration of the\nlake area dramatically increased\nin the 1970s, the Lubicon people\nfiled a notice with provincial government to suspend development.\n\"The provincial government\nwouldn't accept the caveat? Lennarson said, \"so the band took the\nprovincial government to court\nand the government asked for a\npostponement. During this time,\nthe province rewrote the law and\nmade it retroactive.\"\nUnder the new law, the band's\ncaveat had no legal basis. \"If the\ncaveat had been accepted? contin\nued Lennarson, \"the millions of\ndollars that the oil companies\nhave gained in the area would now\nbe questionable.\"\nIn 1982 with no settlement in\nsight, the band filed a suit against\nten oil and gas companies operating in the area and against the\ngovernment of Alberta.\nThe Lubicons claimed title to\nthe land, as well as exclusive\nrights to all the natural resources\nfound in their lands, based on their\naboriginal rights. They also proposed $700 million in lieu of royalties and revenues gained from\nresource extraction to date.\nIn addition, the band included an injunction to halt the\nactivities ofthe oil and gas companies while the suit was in progress,\nto prevent irreparable damage.\nThe Alberta court denied that injunction.\n\"As the Alberta court of appeal sees it, there is no way of life\nleft to be protected, and an injunction would be harmful to the oil\ncompanies? said James O'Reilly,\nlawyer for Lubicon Cree for over\nseven years.\n\"You can't sue the provincial\ngovernment, so they are immune\nto an injunction. The oil companies are merely agents ofthe government and so they are covered\nby crown immunity? says Lennarson.\n\"The damages to the Lubicon\nare not irreparable, says the court\n- if they win the case they will have\nenough money to compensate the\ndamages done to the land? he\nadded.\n\"Even if the damages are irreparable? continued Lennarson,\n\" the court says the band's application shouldn't be considered because it would be damaging to the\npolitical economy of the province.\nAnd finally, if the band lost, it\ncouldn't compensate the oil company and government for their\nlosses?\nFor the government, it is a\nquestion of control. \"The Alberta\ngovernment feels threatened by\nthe natives? said O'Reilly. \"It was\nonly made a province in 1905 and\nit only got control over its lands\nand resources in 1930. It's a\nstruggle for power and resources.\"\n\"It's clear that Canada is a\ncoward because it won't face up to\nAlberta and say right and justice\nmust be done? he added.\nThe Canadian justice system\nis failing the Lubicon Cree and\nthey know it.\nThe Lubicon Cree have taken\ntheir case to the United Nations\nhuman rights committee. In July\n1987 the committee decided that\n\"the State party [Canada] (must)\ntake interim measures to avoid\nirreparable damage to Chief Ominayak and other members of the\nLubicon Lake band.\n\"The U.N. told Canada to take\nimmediate measures - Canada, as\nusual, did nothing? said O'Reilly.\nBut the Lubicon Cree's most\ndangerous enemy, next to the\ngovernments, the courts and the\noil companies, is time.

After\na class you might stop for a drink with a\nfriend in the SUB Gallery Lounge and\nfind a painting across from you. While\ngetting your hair cut, you might notice\nthat there are arts and crafts on display.\nThe bank, the library and even window\nfronts are all increasingly playing host to\nthe diverse works of local artists.\nFEATURE\n\"I*'i a general trend with groovy\ndowntown cafes? explains Kelly Williams,\nmanager of Cafe Zen. Montgomery Cafe\nand Cafe Taf s are two other examples.\nCloser to UBC, Cafe Madeleine on West\nTenth and various Fourth Avenue\nrestaurants provide \"alternate hanging\nspaces\". The West Point Grey branch of\nthe public library, just outside the UBC\nGates, shows local arts and crafts, as does\nTwizzle Hair Studio and The Hair Club\non West Broadway.\n\"There's a very large artistic community in Vancouver and there certainly are\nnot enough spaces to provide exhibitions,\"\nsays Keith Wallace, curator of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Wallace says alternate exhibitions complement traditional\ngalleries and are good for everyone.\nDietrick Madsen, the artist who did\nthe December CITR Discorder cover, is an\nartist benefiting from increased display\nspaces in the city. His first show is\ncoming to a close at Cafe Zen and has\nnetted him sales and another show.\nOne established artist voiced a\nconcern about the physical space of some\na *rw* \*\u00C2\u00AB\nL*\n-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 *\u00E2\u0080\u00A2_\nii\n*,if it\nArt: hanging out at Cafe' Zen\nalternate venues, saying that wall colour,\nharsh light and lack of space may distract\nthe viewer. Wallace thinks that artists\nare more concerned with being able to\nshow their work than with the imperfections of a particular display space.\nMany people are not accustomed to\nthe art community and \"they feel kind of\nawkward going into an art gallery,\"\nreflects Newton. For these people,\nexhibitions in familiar environments, at\ncafes, on street corners, at the library, can\nbe a way to be comfortable with art.\nArt \"increases our visual sensitivity\nto our surroundings, our environment, the\nway we do things,\" says Chappell. With\nthis increased sensitivity, art becomes\nmore than what is hung neatly in galleries. We will become aware of the visual\nart expressed in architecture and fashion.\nThis awareness enhances our understanding of our culture, in turn allowing us to\nsee in a new light other cultures.\nOwners want \"to expose the local artists to the public and the other way\naround? says Dennis Newton, Twizzle's\nowner. The exhibitions also draw people\nto the venue by providing an interesting\nenvironment.\nArtwork generally stays up for\nperiods varying from two to six weeks.\nThe artists hang their own work, sometimes receiving help from the owner or\nperson in charge. Promotion is usually\ndone by the artist, though this is not\nalways the case. Fettucini's provides\nposters for its artists and has regular\nopening nights.\nGoodwill and appreciation between\nowner and artist are usually the only currency changing hands, although some\nvenues do charge a commission. The\ncommission at Isadora's restaurant, on\nGranville Island, is used mainly to\nimprove display space, asserts Janice\nTetlock, on the Art Committee.\nWindow fronts also offer exhibits. The\nWindow for Non-Commercial Culture, located at 455 W. Pender, exhibits work\nthat is \"political, conceptual, intellectual,\nI guess I could even bear to say instructional, but certainly having to do with\ncommunication and different ways of\nseeing a variety of ideas? muses Geor-\ngiana Chapell, artist and sessional\nlecturer in Fine Arts at UBC. The public\nlibrary windows at Robson and Burrard\nalso exhibit.\nYou may want to get the jump on the\nnew trend in art exhibits it before it\njumps on you. Many exhibits are not\nadvertised, with news travelling by word-\nof-mouth.\nBut the joy of alternate exhibits is\nprecisely in the way art shows up when it\nisn't expected.\nBOB'S\nYOUR\nUNCLE\nBy Chris Buchanan\nWhile Bob's Your Uncle has performed the ordinary band\nrituals: changing drummers as often as their shirts, running\ninto wildlife on their cross-country tour, and having to push their\nbroken down bus through Queen street; their hard work, modesty\nand an innovative approach to music set them far apart from the\nmajority of top-40 cover bands that proliferate on the club scene.\nINTERVIEW\nBOB'S YOUR UNCLE\nThe most alluring aspect ofthe Bob's Your Uncle sound has to be\nthe eclectic vocals of Sook-Yin Lee. Sook-Yin Lee's tentative first\nattempts at singing are described bluntly by guitarist James Junger:\n\"It took Sook-Yin a while because when she started she couldn't sing\nthat well.\"\nBut eventually hard work and an\nopen approach to music proved successful.\n\"One day when I was in the studio something clicked in my head. In the beginning\nmy vocals almost verged on rap, I would\nalways be talking the lyrics. But in the\nstudio, when we were recording the\nalbum, it clicked in my head that I\ndidn't have to restrain myself, I can\njust fly, let myself go,\" comments\nLee on her unusual style.\nParallelling this artistic\nabandonment is the harmonica\nstyle of Peter Lizotte. Using\neffect pedals to alter the sound of\nthe harmonica, and not\nrestricting himself to the twelve\nbar blues style common to the\nharmonica, Lizotte's surprisingly versatile style is responsible for much ofthe\nsuccess ofthe band. \"It adds\na lot because it's not\nSee 'Bob', page 4\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0C/Von/c/i\niron/c/es-\nUNIVERSITY OF i\n0 Q Q D 0\nQ j_ n n\u00E2\u0080\u0094a_\n\u00C2\u00A9\nDelta Deifa Del+_ |\n -Ti Tl fV\n___ \u00C2\u00B1\u00C2\u00B1\nJSes^u.\nFloyd had a plan -fe guarantee\ngraduating at -Hie t&poP his clas\nclass.\nFebruary 5, 1988\nTHE UBYSSEY/7 40 - 50% OFF\nOFF WHAT?

Not an easy question, but\na good exhibition should force\nthe viewer into self-examination,\nand make us look twice at what\nwe take for granted. And after\nseeing Visioning Palestine, a\nmulti-media presentation on the\nIsraeli occupation, I left questioning not only the role of art\nand propaganda, but the whole\nproblem of peace in the Middle\nEast.\nART\nVisioning Palestine\nPitt International Galleries,\n36 Powell\nWith the death toll rising\nevery day in the occupied territories, the exhibit couldn't be\nbetter timed. It provides another\nway of approaching what is\nshows us a pair of feet caught in\nbarbed wire while trying to stake\na land claim, and one more\nshows nothing but the corner of a\nroom.\nOne disappointment is that\nthese are not the original\nartworks for the prints; instead\nthey are offset copies, reproduced\ndue to fear of confiscation by\nIsraeli authorities. It was\nespecially annoying given the\nartistic eloquence and technical\nexcecution which were obviously\nthere, only a little harder to feel\nafter mechanical reproduction.\nThe photographs by Jane\nStory, on the other hand, made\ngood use of the mechanics of photography; her prints were for\nsale. The approximately fifteen\nblack and white prints are\ntechnically impeccable, but the\naccompanying captions were\ndisturbingly anti-Israeli.\nOne photo shows the\nweather beaten face of a Pales-\n\u00C2\u00AB "Newspapers"@en .
